Hi, I am the Debian GNU/Linux of the Samba package in this distribution. Today I received this bug report but since I don't use the authentication method this user mentions, I can't reproduce the problem. I heard Jeremy Allison said something about a bug in 1.9.18p8 regarding user mappings and posted a patch but since the patch is applied to the version of Samba this user is using, I am

We run a Network of Suns (running Samba) and PC-NT (version 4, sp3) machines, at work, and find it very annoying to be unable to change the file permissions of files from NT on the Suns. Is there any way to change the permissions from NT file explorer or otherwise ? Dave Kirkby

HI all, Question: I have a freeBSD box using smbprint to print on a HP jet direct printer attatched to a NT server. However the formatting is horrible and it only prints out about the first 2 lines of a file. Any suggesstions out there? thanks! -aaz

I am sharing some printers attached to Win95 boxes, and would like to be able to do more than connect from Linux with smbclient and print via translate. I would like to be able to specify a printcap entry for these so as to be able to print from pine or lynx or Netscape (when I get X running here at work). I haven't found anything in Samba docs or LDP docs yet to tell me how to write such

I just installed linux 2.1.85 on a Red Hat 5.0 box that was the 2.0.31 kernel. Now my smbfs is broken. When I try to access a share on another SMB box, I get: SMBFS: need mount version 6 smbmount returns "invalid parameter" error, IIRC. I've gone cross-eyed staring at DejaNews today, trying to find a solution to this, but so far only other people reporting the problem, and no one

Hello- I am in the process of upgrading our NT 3.51 to NT 4.0 but have run into a problem: We have Samba 1.9.14 running on a UnixWare 2.1 machine. With the NT 3.51 machines the Samba Serveris not visible in the Network Neightborhood, but it can be easily accessed by specifying where one wants to connect. NT 4.0 doesn't seem to have this option. So, 1) can someone tell me HOW to make

I was just browsing through my logs and noticed this many times: Dec 2 14:00:37 barney inetd[3021]: netbios-ns/udp: bind: Address already in use netbios-ns should run on port 137/udp right? This is the samba nmbd server, right? When I do a ps -fe |grep nmbd I see this: root 708 1 0.0 Nov 26 ?? 3:52.39 nmbd -n Alpha_1000 root 709 708 0.0 Nov 26 ??

My original message follows... Well, it would seem that my problem was that nmbd was somehow running as a daemon. Looking at the process IDs the first nmbd had a parent process of 1, not as the ID of inetd. I don't know HOW that happened, the only place nmbd is referenced is inetd.conf. I killed the main nmbd process, sent a HUP signal to inetd, nmbd started again and I haven't had a

We are using samba with a NT4.0 Primary Domain Controller as a samba password server. Logon validation on the primary domain controller works fine, the NT machine validates the user password. BUT: On the NT PDC the event log shows numerous entries saying: Unknown user or wrong password Did anybody experience this too ???? Rainer von Bongartz /D/I/L/ rainer.von-bongartz@dil.de

Hi, I've been running a Linux machine (RedHat 4.1 kernel 2.0.27) with Samba 1.9.16p9 (built by RedHat) for about 1 year now. Everything has been working just fine, but recently I increased the number of users. When I get to about 75 users the whole system goes down, with messages like: Unable to load interpreter No more processes File table overflow If I manage to kill Samba, the system

I've got a user that wants an Access database shared out. I've got a decent machine serving out the directory (300 MHz Pentium II) running RedHat 5.0 (kernel 2.0.34) with Samba 1.9.17p4 (RPM is samba-1.9.17p4-3). I've created a simple share entry in the smb.conf file: [global] debug level = 1 browsable = yes comment = Samba under Linux (RedHat 5.0) domain master = yes

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the string that appears in browser lists restricted to being a single string without spaces, or can you include spaces ? I have samba v1.9.15p8 running on a SGI O2 system, and I'm accessing its filesystems from a W95 PC. I started off with the following line in my /etc/init.d/samba script NMBD_OPTS="-C11th Floor SGI O2" which results in

Hello. I use Linux 2.0.30(Red Hat) and Samba 1.9.16p. Clients are Win95, NT Workstations and Servers. I use Linux like printserver and bridge. And I have problem with my printer HP LaserJet 4MV with JetDirect card. It print 1 test page( or another 1 page) and print after it second page: User: root Host: LINUX Class: LINUX

Hi, please imagine the following scenario: We have 4 local samba networks consisting of multiple samba machines and Win95 and NT machines as well. They all talk to each other and all works well. We have one central (samba) WINS server for all 4 nets. These 4 nets are connected together and communicate to the outside world through a firewall. Now I want to connect to exactly one share on the

I recently (a few weeks ago) installed 1.9.18p8 in order to get better performance with an Access Database, which along with adding a TCP_NODELAY in the [global] section has that working like a charm. Thing that's bugging me now is smbstatus. When I run it I see open files listed when I know that they aren't. The following output shows quite a few files open that aren't really. The

We installed Samba 1.9.16p11 on our Solaris 2.5 Sparc server here and we are having some difficulty getting Windows 95 programs to access the Samba shares. Many of the programs work, and we are dedicated to using Samba, and we have a lot of stuff out there, and we are using it effectively. But we have a few problems with a few programs. One of the possible solutions to this problem is to upgrade

Hi, first of all, my apologies for the very technical and long nature of this message... I still do not give up with the problem I am having about not being able to browse the Network Neighborhood sometimes. My original post to the list was: >I am using Windows 95 dial-up networking to connect to a Samba box (the >Samba box is a PPP server). I am having problems to browse the Network

Hi, I am using Windows 95 dial-up networking to connect to a Samba box (the Samba box is a PPP server). I am having problems to browse the Network Neighborhood in Windows 95 and I do not why. The problem is random: sometimes I see computers and sometimes I don't. I have read the BROWSING.txt document and tried several smb.conf settings but nothing seems to help. When I connect using

Hi, It looks like smbd in Samba 2.0.4a is segfaulting after receiving a SIGTERM signal (kill -TERM <pid of smbd>): [1999/05/18 23:40:46, 1] smbd/server.c:main(621) smbd version 2.0.4a started.

Hi all. I know this has probably been asked before, but I need a quick answer, and didn't find anything on the net. Has anyone done any benchmark comparisons of server speed from Win95 clients, accessing files on a Samba 1.9.17p1 server share, as compared to an NT Server, running on the same server hardware? If so, how did Samba 1.9.17 measure up to the NT server? I need an answer to this,
